From recalling her bond with Sidharth Shukla to dealing with anxiety and depression after Bigg Boss 13; A look back at late actress Shefali Jariwala's journey after Kaanta Laga

Shefali Jariwala's shocking demise has left the Industry numb. The actress sadly passed away in Mumbai last night, June 27. It was reported that Shefali suffered a cardiac arrest. Shefali is well-known for her song Kaanta Laga, and apart from that, she became one of the loved contestants in Bigg Boss 13. A look back at the actress' journey into the showbiz after her chartbuster song.

Everybody wants to look good; if you had the option to better a feature, then they would. Those who can't do it think it's wrong. It is expensive and painful to do such botox and surgeries. Can you see if I have done anything? I have taken care of myself, and I have not needed anything. Nowadays, all of them look the same; some have even begun to undergo rhinoplasty surgeries. I believe in doing whatever you like. You are in a privileged position; make the most of it. I am totally pro it, you only need to be responsible. Do whatever makes you happy, if the surgery is worth then go for a renowned surgeon so that nothing goes wrong.

We had a lot of fun in the Bigg Boss house. We were all so authentic that is how people have been unable to replicate that authenticity. I have been offered Bigg Boss since its first season, but I believe season 13 was destined. There was a connection concept in BB13, Parag didn't want to go, so we denied it, and it abruptly ended. Then, I again got a call just 2 days before the show began, and I decided that I wanted to do it. I had a gut feeling. Parag had told me that my brother is inside and he will look after you.

After Bigg Boss ended, I used to start screaming and talking. Parag used to remind me that I am not in the Bigg Boss house and I need to relax. After BB ended, we had a lockdown, so for one long year, I suffered from anxiety. The first week, we only slept. By the time we realised we were out of the house, we were in lockdown. I couldn't understand what had happened. It is really difficult to consciously shut off the house. It took me a year to get out of it. I suffered from anxiety and depression.

I became great friends with Bhau, and that turned out to be a strong connection. I had even supported you, Paras, in the house. We have carried forward the relationships of life. Bhau and you have been the closest. Mahira and I are in touch. I met Shehnaaz a couple of times. Vishal and I stay close by so we can meet often. Khesari bhai is busy, Devo and Rashami are in touch. Rashami and I have a Gujarati connection.

I have experienced a lot of trolling. I have become thick-skinned. I have been in the Industry for 20 years. The trolling I faced during Kanta Laga is much more serious than the social media trolling. On social media, the comments are faceless, but back in the day, people would create an image of you from the characters you portrayed onscreen and look down upon you. We faced personal trolling. How do you escape that? My own relatives frowned on me. There were even rumours that my brother killed me, when I don't even have a brother. The social media trolling doesn't matter to me anymore.

Sidharth Shukla was well deserved as the top 2, apart from that, Paras, you should have been. The most annoying was you at the beginning of Bigg Boss. Sidharth had a terrible fashion sense in the house. He wouldn't even comb his hair. You had an unbeatable breakfast and tea. Rashami used to make food, sometimes it was good, sometimes it wasn't. I didn't know how to cook, I learnt how to make rotis in the house. I would say Khesari bhaiya couldn't handle the house. He is a very good guy, yeah. In the show, Bhau was the accha baccha, as opposed to what he is in real life.
